Re: Cars are like printers

Still cannot see the reason for either one, Ford or Continental, especially the latter on providing Pumas with lesser thread tyres.

Re: Battery problem update

Ali is right, no more excuses, Ford should deal immediately with this problem that makes Pumas unreliable, no matter in what numbers, this is something unheard of nowdays, they should have figured it out after 2 years and not having their customers go through this ordeal and not know if their car wi...
